    Franco Corelli è stato per me che ho potuto ammirarlo dal vivo all Arena di Verona come Calaf,Ernani e Don Josè il più grande tenore del mondo.UN MITO!
    LA PIRA e cantata in tono pieno,per cui tecnicamente e scenicamente, perché anche l occhio vuole la sua parte,FRANCO CORELLI resta ancora insuperato Artista.

    Once you saw Corelli in a role, there will never be any other tenor who can fill the role.
    I saw him at the Met as Manrico, Alvaro, Cavaradossi, Enzo ( in La Gioconda), Calaf (!!), Radames, and Romeo....and Franco will ALWAYS be the only one for me. Other tenors were very good - even excellent - in these roles. But Franco will always remain the gold standard for me - never to be surpassed!

I’m not asking for the next Corelli, but at least a de stefano or Lanza! We simply cannot settle for less, lest opera should die.

It's all about looks and nasal (mask) singing nowadays. I believe singers are just as eager to do the job but they aren't given the chance.

    This guy started singing professionally at 33. The voice is a multi-colured powerhouse, a sound spectrum the like of which will never be heard again.
    He could act as well. He was Cavarodossi: he was Manrico: he was everybody he ever played and sang. He was an utterly modest man.

      Marjan, I can only state that in all expert polls I've seen about the greatest opera singers of the 20. Century, especially Bjorling, but also Pavarotti, rank above Corelli. And for me, it's easy to understand. Bjorling and Pavarotti also enjoyed a popularity among ordinary listeners which Corelli was unable to match. And for me, that too, is easy to understand! :-)

    • @racheleleeba
      @racheleleeba  8 років тому +15

      +guthorbj Pavarotti came along when there was wide commercial exposure, unlike Corelli. There is a reason Franco Corelli was dubbed Mr. Sold Out at the Met and also was the highest paid tenor in Italy for years, as well as being the only tenor to open both seasons at the Met and La Scala simultaneously for years.
      Also, there is an interview on YT with Pavarotti discussing Corelli. If you've seen it, you would know the highest respect Pav had for Franco, saying that if he had had the exposure through televised concerts, etc., that he himself had, he would have been number one.
      I will say in certain repertoire I agree with you about Bjorling, but not in verismo opera.

      @@jesusmunoz2400 la vocalización, la dicción de Corelli es su punto débil. No es buena. Es así. Su técnica vocal le provocaba eso. Además en mi opinión es uno de los casos en dónde se pone en más evidencia la diferencia de su voz hablada y su voz cantada. Cuando uno escucha hablar en una entrevista a Corelli es inevitable pensar "cómo puede tener ese torrente de voz cantando?". Es de las voces más feas que he escuchado hablando. Por ejemplo cuando una escucha hablar y cantar al Maestro Kraus o a Pavarotti no se nota ese cambio de color tan drástico. Claro estoy comparando a tenores líricos con uno spinto. Pero Corelli es un spinto con buenísimos pianos y pianisimos. Y unos diminuendos de forte a pianisimo en un mismo fiato inhumanos. Lo cual hace pensar que tenía un excelente control vocal. En el caso de Corelli parecen dos personas distintas cuando habla y cuando canta. Toda esa potencia le hacía perder la buena dicción? No lo sé. Pero es así.
      Todo este rollo que he escrito no es para defender a Domingo de nada. Domingo se equivocó para mi gusto en querer cantarlo todo evidentemente. Como ejemplo esa "pira" de Il trovarore es un insulto para cualquier oyente. Y más cosas por supuesto.
      Soy un ignorante? Sí. Y creo que siempre lo seré. No me veo capaz de aprenderlo absolutamente todo. Siempre me faltarán cosas por saber. Así que acepto que siempre seré un ignorante.

    what I find astonishing is that an exceptionally handsome and vocally gifted singer like Corelli suffered with performance nerves before every appearance. I was watching a Turandot from Covent Garden on TV this morning and although the Turandot was quite good, the expressionless fat blob of a Calaf made me long for Corelli. If I had been Turandot his head would have ben off straight away

      I'm very glad that Franco Corelli gives you good feelings when you listen to his singing. And of course I know that Corelli's voice was more like tenore di forza while Bjørling's mature voice was lirico spinto - in his youth tenore di grazia. That means that Corelli for instance could sing Calaf brilliantly ON STAGE. Bjørling never did that. When asked, he answered: I'm not that spinto you know! :-) But even if Corelli, no doubt, had a bigger voice than Bjørling, for me, Bjørling's singing and vocal acting TOUCHES my soul much more than does Corelli's singing. In a way It's as simple as that.And there are a lot of reasons for that, but I will not go into detail here. Finally I also agree that popularity ranking is not always valid in art!! But rankings made by QUALIFIED listeners are, in my opinion, MORE valid and relevant than general public rankings. That's why I mentioned the 1999 ranking in CLassic CD. Happy new year! :-)

      Bjorling was ranked greatest singer of the century by Classic CD (United Kingdom) "Top Singers of the Century" Critics' Poll (June 1999).
      Luciano Pavarotti, in a 1988 interview, stated that "When I'm about to train a new opera, I first listen to how Jussi Björling did it. His voice was unique and it's his path that I want to follow. I would more than anything else wish that people compared me with Jussi Björling. That's how I'm striving to sing."
      Björling: a tribute by Joseph Calleja
      'When anyone asks me to give an example of a perfectly controlled tenor voice I always mention Luciano Pavarotti and Jussi Björling. It is not a surprise that Pavarotti himself wrote that he modelled his career on the great Swedish tenor.
      'Numerous recordings and live testimony seem to agree that his basic sound was sweet but at the same time full, with a sort of constant ‘tear’ in the sound. There has always been some controversy as to exactly how big the voice sounded in the theatre, but critics from the time all seemed to agree that his voice had a ‘laser-beam quality’ that allowed him to cut through even the most dense of orchestras.
      'Björling has frequently been voted ‘the world’s greatest tenor’ and Dorothy Caruso has gone on record to say that he was the only singer that reminded her of the great Enrico Caruso in live performance.'

      @@SymphonyBrahms In the Andrew Farkas book which was approved by Mrs. Bjorling page 259. Birgit Nilsson recalls that Jussi ''sang a great Radames with me in Stockholm. The opera house, which holds 1180 people, was just right for his voice. I heard his Radames once in Chicago but found his voice a bit small for that role in the big auditorium.'' There are other indications written in the Farkas book to suggest that JB did not have " a laser- beam quality " but there's no need to degrade a wonderful lyric tenor with a well focused voice to make my point to a seemingly very enthusiastic fan. In My opinion, JB had a beautiful quality of voice and was an impeccable singer in many languages. Also, Dorothy Caruso made that statement in 1951, but by 1956, she said ''Richard Tucker's timber came the closest to her husbands voice" I don't believe either tenor sounded like Caruso. Another point, Lauri Volpi in his book, heavily criticized Martinelli for attempting to imitate Caruso. What's the point, was JB the best in Carmen, Forza, Samson, Chenier, Ernani, Otello, Fanciulla, and other operas he did not sing? Was Corelli best in Elisir, Lucia, Barber, Butterfly, Ballo, Traviata, Rigoletto, Boheme, some of these opera's he sang and didn't sing. Do you have a criteria for a tenor being the best ever?

      Tenori con caratteristiche diverse. Del Monaco aveva una gran potenza con qualche indecisione nel controllo. Caruso aveva una voce piena, scura che calibrava con maestria con qualche indecisione nel tratto sovra acuto. Di Stefano e Corelli, sono diversi sia da Del monaco che di Caruso, ma fra loro molto simili.
      Stiamo parlando di quattro grandi tenori.
